City of Coventry will be aiming to go one better than last year's second place after qualifying for the national final of the Speedo League by winning the West Midlands regional final.

Despite missing Adam Whitehead, Michael Williamson and Rachel Genner, who were all competing at the European short-course championships, and Sam Williams, recovering after having her tonsils removed, Coventry won 27 of the 50 events to finish a comfortable 44 points clear of nearest challengers Perry Beeches.
